Why this home stands out
New-construction quality without the new-construction wait — that's the headline at 3560 Riverside Drive. Completed in 2020, this 2,404-square-foot home gives you four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a layout built for the way people actually live today, all on a street that puts two major military installations within a single-digit drive. That combination is genuinely rare in this part of Norfolk.
INGLESIDE and the Norfolk real estate market
Riverside Drive sits in a corner of Norfolk that feels residential and grounded — tree-lined streets, established neighbors, and a pace that's a step removed from the bustle of downtown while still being firmly connected to it. The broader area hugs the eastern side of the city, where the Elizabeth River's tributaries shape the land into quiet pockets of single-family homes. Norfolk itself is one of the most storied cities on the East Coast: a working waterfront, a deep military heritage, and a food and arts scene that keeps growing. For buyers exploring va loan homes norfolk, this part of the city checks a lot of boxes — modern housing stock, short base commutes, and a neighborhood character that rewards putting down roots. Norfolk sits in Hampton Roads alongside Chesapeake, Portsmouth, and Virginia Beach, giving you easy access to the whole region's amenities without sacrificing that sense of having a real neighborhood to come home to.
